@luRaichu Found this project for me. https://www.tarball.ca/posts/adding-an-external-antenna-to-the-picomem-pi-pico-w/

Found an even better solution, perfect PICOw mod for external or 'Book lid internal antennas: Seems like an easy enough mod that's better/more flexible by installing a cut cable's leads directly to board contacts leading to the antenna connector on the other end rather than installing a...

Found an off the shelf solution: https://shop.funand.tech/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2w-with-external-wifi-antenna-connector-u-fl It's massive overkill to treat the SCSI to SD conversion as a HAT on a full blown Linux Computer, but the added CPU cost isn't prohibitive. Now thinking in terms of...

Wondering if a hookup or workaround for running an external antenna lead outside the RFI shielding of a Mac is a possibility? Running the lead to a wire type antenna in a PowerBook lid might be ideal? RFI shielding of a Duo's HDD bay can be tucked underneath, but dunno about other 'Books? Also...

Love this feature, most appreciated as I have a severe allergic reaction to anything the smacks of social networking.;)

Got some advice over at the MLA about fan specs, got the controllers and knocked together a "Front Panel" prototype from aluminum step flashing: Planning to try the PWM fans in there first just cuz. If they don't work out Quiet Noctuas seem the ticket. Front panel (machine's mounted...

From what I've observed, the challenge is a January event focusing on PPC Macs. Marchintosh is also a monthlong focus on anything Mac related. Projects are cool all year long, but those two months seem to be community sharing events as opposed to individual topics.

Metal work is most all done, it's on to Plexi fabrication next. 2.5" UltraSCSI drive will be mounted to hinged lid along with the Whisper Card on the large lid. Nothing mounted to the PCI Card Cage lid. Will be fabbing 5mm Panels running down the sides, to support the clear covers. This remains...

Never wanted one or any X (only) infested Mac, but I'm out of G4 series backup machines . . . sigh.

Heh! Also reported as having tendencies to scavenge and hoard shiny objects. ;) Back on topic: I do all my graphics work on rent free, bought and licensed Adobe Illustrator versions in OS9 on G4s. Once the MDD/FW400 is finally set up, I'm out of backup machines. They have all been upgrades...

Found three sticks of 64MB EDO MEMORY RAM ECC UNBUFF 60NS DIMM 168-pin 3.3v in the HackHutch with the speaker and such. I think I got it to max out this machine or did I buy it for something else maybe? Anybody know offhand? I've got a couple of stripped out towers with double the memory...

Well, no plan of battle survives contact with the enemy . . . so it goes . . . I LOVE this case, all machine screws, no rivets or spot welds connecting anything! But it does come up short of the acreage across which I'd splayed the components out in the pic above. Bobtailed butt sitting...

Cool project. Looks like I have eight years to build my frogdesign inspired 50th Anniversary Mac!

Nope, stuff stinks to high heaven. Sign shop always smelled of turps, doesn't bother me at all. Apprenticed back in the hand lettering day, before vinyl cutting. It scraped clean, not hardly sticky, just bothersome residue.

Taxes done in 1:08, so then spent three hours rearranging every shelf on the rack save the top one. Now I may need to raise a bit. That'll make room for the rackmount DVD player I put together. Took it out to make room, who knew? :rolleyes: Got the rack for $15 cash from one of the workers at...
